Flying to Cayman Brac

A small number of flights each day make traveling to Cayman Brac by plane a possibility

Because there are no ferries that travel between the Cayman Islands on a regular basis, those who have hopes of visiting all three islands will have to rely on air travel. Fortunately, Cayman Brac is home to an international airport. Although flights are few, it is possible to book a flight to this destination even if you don't want to stop on Grand Cayman first.

Kirkconnel International

Cayman Brac's airport is the Captain Charles Kirkconnel International Airport (CYB), which was formerly known as the Gerrard Smith International Airport. The airport is small, only welcoming a handful of flights a day, but it is possible to fly direct from the United States which is good news for many travelers.
